On the launch day of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, Rockstar has pulled the game from digital storefronts not once, but twice, with the second one delisting the game bizarrely with no official reasoning. The first removal of the GTA Trilogy from a digital storefront was due to PlayStation copies of the game accidentally unlocking before the actual launch time--but it was quickly relisted in time to allow players to download the game and play it. The same cannot be said for the PC platform, however.

Those that purchased the game through the only available platform on PC--the Rockstar Games Launcher--found that GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition was not as definitive as claimed, as it suffered from performance problems. Then, it was quietly removed from sale entirely, with the official website even removing any existence of a PC version from anywhere on the page. Following that incident, the Rockstar Games Launcher went down completely, locking gamers out of other online Rockstar titles, such as Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Online. Those that purchased The Trilogy on PC prior to the delisting are also unable to play the game they just bought.

Rockstar has not made mention as to why GTA The Trilogy was pulled, though they did state that they are aware of issues with the launcher, with the reason being that the service is down for maintenance.

We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to work on restoring services for the Rockstar Games Launcher and supported titles.

Should pull it from everywhere, 20 fps 540p on switch

I've been playing the game on PS5 and I haven't noticed any issues with anything, except some weird stuttering that's exclusive just to GTA III and not the other games...otherwise it's been great

 

[Jiehfeng]

This is simply karma for shutting down the fan made ports.

 

[DinohScene]

I'm not surprised that Rockstar has been facing issues.
They're underestimating how popular the 3D GTAs are.

 

[AxlSt00pid]

AHAHAHAHAHA, Rockstar being Rockstar once again

 

[Flame]

[CloudStrife1901]

Not worth the price tag anyway. Waste of time

 

[Kwyjor]

I can't be the only one wondering if they made a special effort to remove the Hot Coffee data from San Andreas this time.

 

[the_randomizer]

I wish they did GTA 4 aswell because it’s poorly optimized on pc and no way to play on new-gen consoles besides Xbox BC and the fps boost makes it impossible to beat a couple missions especially the last mission

 

[M7L7NK7]

GTA 4 was terrible

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Lol, and to think people enjoy these games

[SilverWah]

[Darth Meteos]

The launcher has been down for almost 24 hours. I sent a refund ticket in, hopefully I can get my money back.
